Nokia Lumia 635 up for pre-orders in the UK, costs £145

Nokia Lumia 630 has already landed in the UK, but if you were waiting for the LTE-enabled sibling of the device, there's a piece of good news for you. Unlocked Mobiles, a UK retailer which sells SIM-free handsets, is taking pre-orders of the Nokia Lumia 635 for £144.98, with an expected shipping date of July 3rd.

It's not just Unlocked Mobiles, Phones 4U is also taking pre-orders for the device, but the retailer currently lists contract options only. If you're fine with the contract, Phones 4U is selling the handset with plans starting from £13 per month with zero upfront cost. Personally, if you ask me, it's better to get the SIM-free version of the device since it give users more freedom, and with a budget device like the Lumia 635, I don't see a point in making a two-year commitment.

Last but not the least, Amazon UK also lists the handset for £186.92 for the SIM-free version of the Nokia Lumia 635, which is a little higher than what Unlocked Mobiles is offering it for. The only attraction here is that Amazon UK lists the expected shipment date to be June 23rd, 10 days earlier than other retailers.
